Die rote Linie - Widerstand im Hambacher Forst

Due to the expansion of the nearby open-cast mine, the town of Immerath is to be bulldozed. Most residents have already moved out, but some remain in the ghost town, hoping to trigger a wider protest together with more like-minded people in the area. The focus of their resistance is the local forest, which is threatened with complete felling. Several activists establish a settlement with tree huts and move there permanently. The protest occupation is joined by other actions, mostly peaceful, but there are also violent escalations. The documentary monitors all these lines of resistance and community togetherness – sometimes live, sometimes in the form of comments from selected actors – to reflect on the effectiveness and legitimacy of civil disobedience in today's German society against the backdrop of several years of events.
